Is the Anderson the first to break their way free of the ice?

Looks like there are still a few floaters in the channel.

Edgar B. Speer was the first upbound boat through the Soo locks on April 1.

I just need to get my bottom paint on…I am usually in the water on April 1 when the marina opens….but lousy rain and snow last week prevented me from getting the VC17 applied.

I did get out this morning and sanded down the bottom a little, and if it doesn’t rain all day tomorrow, hopefully I can get the paint on.

1 new thru hull installed, rudder repair made, keel joint resealed, and barrier coat on rudder…now I just need 1 decent day to paint the bottom

Still no sailboats in my marina….a few charter salmon boats, and 2 big cabin cruisers.

Bottom sanded a bit yesterday, and bottom painted today.

Would really like to clean and wax the topsides, but am launching Thursday or Friday whether that gets done or not.
